Our Journey Together as One

My friend asked me to show them the colors. Here it is...

This is green + pink color theme. It is so lovely, don't you think so too?
Green apple + pink again! :=)
The gerbera daisies. I think of provide all my sisters with one stalk of hot pink color gerbera daisy. Sister, is it OK? But i am thinking to hold this flower during morning session or dinner session. Morning, would be little bit troublesome for me, i guess because so many things to get it done and maybe evening dress with a gerbera daisy on your hand will look more elegant and cheerful instead of wristlet? What you gals think?

This pink gerbera daisy corsage for him? Wondering if Renaissance hotel can provide me pink color flower? Hmmm....

Another sample of green apple and pink color combination. It is sweet and not awkward at all to me. Gerbera daisies and green apple basket decor for reception table. At first, i thought of doing this. But by looking at my budget, i forgo this lovely decor and replace with candles and rose petals will do i guess.

4 little duckies and 4 pieces of grasses. The duckies are so cute isn’t it?? Each little ducky and grass cost me RM1.90 only. A cotton flowery bag to collect our ang pows. RM31.92 after disc of 20%. Initially I have asked Ambridge Cottage to make an ang pow bag for me, but they quote me for about RM70 if I am not mistaken. After I see this flowery bag, I bought this as the price is cheaper. Wedding is all about budget, OK! Further, this flowery bag is not bad too, I can still use as my shopping bag after my wedding. :=)Finally, I found two good looking square shaped clear vases. I have searched all shops in Bunga Raya, either the quality not good or they do not have the square shaped clear vase. This clear vase is only RM19.90 before 20% disc. It is really cheap!!!

I also bought 5 packs of willow branches. Each pack only RM2.90. Cheap right? Both clear vases and willow branches are for photo display purposes at my wedding dinner.

Actually we saw a very cute birdcage in white color. That’s exactly what I am looking for. But the small birdcage cost RM79.90 before 20%. I was really love that, but after much consideration, dear able to hold me back, we are not suppose to waste money on this as we already bought a birdcage!! We just need to buy a white color spray to turn into white color birdcage as well. :=P I was glad that I did not spent on this unnecessary item. :=P

I just paid deposit of RM250 for actual day make up. Pheww… another matter done. For both session (morning and dinner) is RM500, including two ampoules and two eyelashes.

My make up artist for actual day is Eric Chong from Ambridge Cottage.

40cm and 30cm clear vases at RM49 and RM39 each respectively. I would want to fill up these clear vases with green apples and place these vases at the reception table.

In the pic : block candle set of 5 at RM29, candle holder at RM9.90 or RM19.90 (if i am not wrong) and scented candles (apple green) at RM19.90. All these are for our wedding dinner decoration purposes. I am not going to DIY myself as i am pretty sure i have no time for all these. What i have is my rough idea and i need someone to transform my idea into reality.

My sister bought us a very cute and lovely 5R wedding photo frame from Disney. ^.^

My Petaling Street's outfit, but this photo taken in the studio.

Our first location was Petaling Street. I was excited actually but I have not much conversation with Sam la. Don’t know what to ask and I am just trust his professionalism. He lead us to every corner of Petaling Street. The weather was terribly hot and me and dear were really sweating so much. I really started to feel uneasy, not due to the public attention, but the sweat!!! At first, I really thought I would feel shy wearing gown walking in the public and take photos. But surprisingly, I really did not care of their attention. What I wanted was good photos. I was happy and satisfied everytime Sam showed me the good photos he took.

After Petaling Street, we continue our shooting at Heritage Hotel. Once reached there, Shirley, without wasting a second, she immediately brought me to the washroom and gets me changed. Dear also changed himself. This round, Sam guided us how to pose because this round is more to cool and artistic style??

This was my last pose before we went back to Sunway. :=P

Sam told us that we able to shoot more than 200 poses which was really surprised me. I hope it was really more than 200 shoots so we have more choices then. :=P

Overall, both of us are happy with Sam's professionalism and we shall wait for the photos now. I really can't wait. Sam told us two weeks, but i hope to meet him again during my next visit.

Oh ya, we were so hungry because we did not take our lunch!! Sam asked if we would wanna to take lunch at Petaling Street (both him and MUA had taken thier lunch), but i rejected because i was not hungry at the time he asked me, but i just feel damn thirsty. LOL. So, he brought us to the famous air mata kuching stall. :=P He even able to take our photos while we were drinking and showed us, see...?? LOL.

So, to reward ourselves today, we stopped by Seremban to have grilled crab!!! Yay!!

It was tiring, but it was fun! I really missing that day. I wish i have more budget to have another photo shooting session. LOL.

I was like love in the first sight of this shoe when i stumbled at Wedding Isle. I wrote to them asking about this lovely shoe. I think it was about one or two months back when i wrote to ask about this shoe. At first, i was really thinking to have them post the shoe to me, but my friend advise me to try on the shoe first before buy, as the price is not cheap too.

With the direction and rough map from friend and colleague, immediate after training at KL office, i drove from Damansara Uptown to Desa Sri Hartamas. I was so happy when me and my friend found the shop, and again, i fall in love again with this lovely shoe. I tried on and yes, i want this, i told the sales assistant.

It is pretty pricey actually, cost me RM228. But as long as it is really comfy and i love it, i think it is worth. Further, i have tried to look the whole Mahkota Parade, Dataran Pahlawan and even Times Square, just none of them catch my eye.

I was like so relieved and happy then.

Two pieces wedding range bath towel set, of which i was trying to look for but could not get when i was in 1-U last time. So coincidently, she bought the same design as my quilt cover set! You read my mind yea? hehehe

This is tissue box cover from Aussino too.

And the last one, two-pieces pillow case from the same wedding range too!

All these match perfectly with my quilt cover set and i love it. Thank you so much SIL!!! :=)
